setVisible() is not working during editing

Hi,
I am facing problem with setVisible() function , actually it is working properly during creating new form but while editing that form it is not working .
here is code:

[html]

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);
function init() {
alert('init');
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/Content","OnReplicantAdded",Hide_Subheader);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/Content/TextBoxRoot/Charcount", "onItemChange", countType);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/Content/TextAreaRoot/Charcount", "onItemChange", countType);
countType();
Hide_Subheader();
}
function countType(item) {
alert('count'+item);

var str1 = item.getName();
var re = /Charcount/;
var newstr = str1.replace(re, "CharSize");
var tes=IWDatacapture.getItem(newstr);
IWDatacapture.getItem(str1).setFocus();
IWDatacapture.getItem(newstr).setVisible(false);

if (IWDatacapture.getItem(str1).getValue() == "0") {

IWDatacapture.getItem(newstr).setVisible(true);
}
IWDatacapture.redraw();
}

function Hide_Subheader(parameter){
var containername = parameter.getName();
var regex1 = containername+"/TextBoxRoot";
var regex2 = containername+"/TextAreaRoot";
var ele = IWDatacapture.getItem(containername).getChildren();
var ele1 = ele[0].getName();
if(regex1 == ele1){
var ele2 = IWDatacapture.getItem(containername +'/TextBoxRoot/CharSize');
ele2.setVisible(false);
}
if(regex2 == ele1){
var ele3 = IWDatacapture.getItem(containername +'/TextAreaRoot/CharSize');
ele3.setVisible(false);
}

}

When you call hide_subheader on init, you are calling it with no parameters. However you define a parameter in the function and use that parameter in the function.

Hide_Subheader();
}

function Hide_Subheader(parameter){

The same is true for the countType function.

When called as event handlers - they are implicitly passed the IWItem that triggered the event; when called "manually", you (shivgaytri) need to explicitly pass it the argument - e.g.:

countType(IWDatacapture.getItem("/Content/TextAreaRoot/Charcount"));

The above assumes that neither Content nor TextAreaRoot are replicant containers - if either are, you need to pass the explicit address for the item, e.g.:

countType(IWDatacapture.getItem("/Content/TextAreaRoot[1]/Charcount"));

However, in such cases you probably don't want to call the function directly, but call another function that will loop through all the children of the container and call the desired function for each existing instance of the container (code for this kind of thing has been posted in the past - search getChildren and you should be able to find it)
